Answer 1

To solve for the value of w, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by moving the other terms to the opposite side.

First, we can subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

10w - 6 - 10 = 44 - 10

This simplifies to:

10w - 16 = 34

Next, we can add 16 to both sides of the equation:

10w - 16 + 16 = 34 + 16

This simplifies to:

10w = 50

Finally, to solve for w, we divide both sides of the equation by 10:

10w/10 = 50/10

This simplifies to:

w = 5

Therefore, the value of w that makes the equation true is 5.
